He is anex-cattleman and Texas Ranger.He has fought Indians on the! plains, in early days killed buffa-i lo, deer and panthers.He tells an interesting story ofthe way in which he celebratedNew Year’s day in 1879. He wasliving then on a cattle-ranch inI the far frontier. now known asj Archer County. It was a cool, crispI winter morning—an ideal day for| hunting. Mr. Ray with his brother-j in-law and his two trusted Englishhounds, set out to kill a deer fora little morning exercise.They had only been gone about| an hour when the dogs jumped adeer in a thicket. The first hadI been so easy that they were unwilling lo return so soon. Theyj discovered panther tracks nearbyI and followed the trail some time| before the dogs finally got it. But| when they did, there followed anexciting time for all, at the end ofi which the hunters had bagged twopanthers. They returned to theranch house by 12 o’clock, carry-ing the two panther skins and thedeer as trophies of their hunt.Mr. Ray says that at that timeWhitesboro was the nearest ship-ping point for cattle, as Gainsvillewas only a trading post on thefrontier.
